This is in response to the announcement by Clonaid (part of the Raelian cult) of the purported birth of a human clone. All NYTA members are encouraged to attend and to participate in formulating a response from our group to this controversial development. Visitors are welcome. The meeting will begin at 6:00 PM in the 6th floor conference room at 80 Broad Street in downtown Manhattan. We are in a great location, just two blocks from the New York Stock Exchange, easily accessible by mass transit. From subway: N & R at Whitehall Street/South Ferry; 4 & 5 at Bowling Green; 1 & 9 at South Ferry; J, M & Z at Broad Street. From bus stop: M1 & M6. If you get lost, the phone number for the conference room is 917-320-3021. When you arrive at the building, please tell security you are there for the NYTA meeting in the 6th floor conference room. The New York Transhumanist Association (NYTA) is an affiliated chapter of the World Transhumanist Association, a nonprofit membership organization that works to promote discussion of the possibilities for radical improvement of human capacities using advanced technologies. Transhumanism is a growing movement concerned with ethically expanding technological opportunities for people to live longer and healthier lives, to enhance their intellectual, physical, and emotional capacities, and to enjoy a future of expanded freedom and prosperity. NYTA members meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month, from 6:00 until about 8:00 PM. Everyone is welcome to attend. See you in the future!
